No, he's not clueless. They become sly like the fox. Our spouses know us so well and know exactly which buttons to push to rile us up. He will continue to do this until he sees that you aren't paying him any mind. This is the behavior of a 2 year old wanting mommy's undivided attention. All they know is that they want attention, i.e., good or bad...it doesn't matter.
He's doing everything humanly possible to annoy you so that you will cave in on whatever he wants...don't do it!
Oh, something will surely come back and bite him where the sun don't shine. Just give Lady Karma time...it will happen.
He's having a crisis, there is no doubt about it and yes, they do act like jerks and more.
Hang in there!
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
